[hometext] => I gave this to my brother, Mario, for his Birthday
[bodytext] => In all the years I have known him I always knew he'd lead the "normal" life. It is the life he had always wanted, to follow the shining road at his feet. Whether it was pre-paved or self-created, I don't know. A perfectly straight line, from where he stood. As he grew older, there were no more child-like characters to keep him company. (The Scarecrow got his brain, the Tin-Man found his heart and the Cowardly Lion looked within and unleashed his mighty roar). But soon, he had no way to back home, he was lost and no storm or wizard would help him find his way. He had more to care for than himself and huge gaps in his road made him trip and fall. His road was no longer stable and straight. In a black and white world, it all made sense but when bright colors blind your eyes with options and problems, you can only walk with your arms out in front of you, so as not to bump into things that lay before. (keep your eyes on the road) Nobody said adulthood was easy and the safety of Munchkinland ends when you no longer believe. He was now a tornado of indecision, a vortex of fear. Family can not reach him, we all know the danger of this kind of storm. But, My Dear Brother, soon enough, I know you will find that peace of mind that gives strength to your heart. The build up of Energy that can no longer be contained and your mighty ROAR will be heard from all ends of the World. And when the winds cease to blow and you look into your daughters eyes you will know you were always Home, never alone. That small vessel contains the generations of "Us ".
